Today I got around to installing TextPipe Standard 12.0 in my Windows 11 x64 PC.
The first thing that hit me is the very tiny font size used in the program's GUI.
For users that need reading glasses such as myself, this makes it very difficult to use.
This is a huge difference compared to what I have been used to on my old Windows 7 PC and earlier PCs.
The font size in the GUI is even smaller than the font size in the navigation pane of TextPipe Help.
Albeit the font size of non-heading text in the help pages is also too small.
Moreover, there is no option in Preferences whereby this can be adjusted to make the program more accessible.
Please can you make the default font size in TextPipe a bit larger, as well as provide a preferences option whereby it can be adjusted.

Re: TextPipe 12 in Windows 11 - UI font size problem
Hi David - we don't specify the font size anywhere - we use the system font and size. There may be some Windows preferences that you can set for TextPipe that can control this.

I've not yet found out where this can be adjusted.
The font size is smaller than for the titles of all my Desktop shortcuts which are readable!

Re: TextPipe 12 in Windows 11 - UI font size problem
Adjusting text size in Settings - Accessibility affects only the text in TextPipe's Window Title.
It has no effect upon the text size in the rest of the UI.
cf. It does affect the text in browsers, including that for this forum.
Looks like TextPipe now fails to meet Accessibility requirements!
NB. In several jurisdictions there are specified legal requirements in this area.
